Abstract
The present invention is a light string storage device that is used to easily wind and un-wind light strings, such as Christmas lights, and is used for storage of the strands. The device protects the light bulbs and sockets against damage; the electric cord, plug and connector and light bulbs stay in place and untangled; it keeps the cord and bulbs from twisting as they are placed on the device; and the plug and connectors are easily attainable for testing the lights prior to strand placement. The invention also includes a turntable with retaining means to easily attach and remove the storage device to the turntable. The lightweight turntable can either sit on the ground or table during use and allows the person to turn the storage device easily during installing or removing of the light strands.
